Dear All Sifus,Just bought a used E46 318i yr make 2004 local spec.I am a bit shocked as my car does not have OBC.Juat normal Mileage and time only on the instrument cluster.Is it possible to install OBC into this car since i have seen one in Japan Spec that has OBC.
 
What do you mean by no OBC? So far, no BMW driver here with locally assembled cars have complained that there's no OBC. All BMWs come with OBC.

Perhaps some more details about what you are talking about.

Salut
 
What I mean is info about the car such as Range, Avg Fuel Consumption, Outside Tempreture etc...

Pls assists
 
In that case, I think you need to read this.

Instructions to access the hidden OBC functions:
1. Hold Trip Reset while turning ignition key to on position
2. OBC should show "Test"
3. Use Trip Reset to select function 19.0 that unlocks all the features
3. Wait for display to show "Off"
4. Depress Trip Reset for 1/4 second and release it
5. With no delay press Trip Reset several times to select one of the following functions:

According to your owner manual you should have this push button at the end of the left stick label as "BC"

By pressing the button you will display as follows:-

Jarance, the OBC button is for 325 and above only. 318 doesn't have that.
 
hmm..my friend just bought e46 318i year 2000. i'm a bit surprised because his car didnt come with obc button.
i thought all e46 have obc button. Lucky i didnt opted for 318i last time.

Some 318i have that BC Button.I think depends on manufacturing specs.
My e46 318i engine m43 have that BC Button.
